ïere I will be
interviewing different
dance instructors and
asking for their opinion
on this debate.
Who will you need to interview/what actors will you need to execute your idea?
For this documentary I will need professionals such as dance instructors and dancers to
ask them whether they feel that different dance forms are actually race and age specific.
Other people I may need are volunteers who can participate to dance.
ïere I will be showing the audience some archive
footage of different dance reality shows. I will also have a voice
over explaining I am are trying to explore how reality shows and
other media texts affect the growth of dance.
ïere the presenter will vox pop different people
asking them, if it·s a good thing that different dance forms from
different cultures are spreading throughout the UK . Rhis segment
will be filmed in Central London.
ïere I will show the audience the presenter traveling to a dance studio in London
to interview another dance instructor to find out whether they feel different dance forms are
race and age specific or how media has influenced the dance industry and why.
ïere the presenter will present the audience with facts and figures about
different dance forms in the UK.
ïere the presenter will interview a professional dancer and talk to them about
what they think about the media impact of the growth of dance and whether it·s a good thing or
not. ïere I will also be shows small clips of the dancer actually dancing. Rhis will be filmed in
dance studio in London.
ïere I will be asking people whether they dance or not, and then I will ask them
to show us a dance move of their choice. Rhis will be filmed in Central London, i.e. Oxford
Street.
ïere the presenter will sign off and sum up the documentary.
Age
Rhe age group for this documentary is going to be from ages 16 ² 24. Rhis has
been specified for us in the brief, so the reason why I think this age group matches
my age documentary's topic and angle, is because the media influence on the
growth of dance, is something that the younger generation are mostly interested in.
Rhis idea will appeal to the target audience because, I think the age group matches
my documentary topic is because younger people in this age range are seen in clubs
and such dance classes.
Gender
Rhe gender of this documentary is aimed towards both males and females.
Even though this topic is quite female dominated, I will be trying my best to
make sure that the people I interview or vox pop are a mixture of both
genders, males and females. Rhis has been specified in the brief that was
given to me, however the reason why I think this gender has been chosen
for us is because, even though people think dance is aimed towards females,
nowadays males are also very interested in dance, as seen in reality dance
shows such as Strictly Come Dancing.
Location
Rhe location that the target audience will be situated is in the United Kingdom.
Rhis location has been specified for us in the brief. Rhe reason why I think this
target audience location matches my idea, is because the reality shows I will be
talking about are located in and around the UK. I think that my idea will appeal to
the people in the UK, simply because the reality shows I will be discussing are in
the UK and this way they can relate to them, as they most probably must have
watched them.
Education/Employment/Socio Economic Group
Rhe employment of the target audience will mostly be
something like part time worker looking at the age
range that was given to us in the brief. Rhe reason why
I have chosen this sort of employment for this target
audience is because 16-18 people are usually studying
in college or school, so a part time job would be most
appropriate for this age group. Rhe education for this
target audience will most probably be in school, sixth
form, college or university, again looking at the age
range given. Rhe socio economic group of this target
audience would probably be in the A to E category.
My idea will appeal to this target audience because the

this spending power range is based from the questionnaire analysis I had Staying healthy and fit
